Sunnah dalam Nalar Islam Kontemporer Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd
Abstract: This paper deals
with the notion of Sunna according to one of the most leading contemporary
Muslim thinkers, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd. The paper explores both his view
concerning the Sunna, and his methodology of how to understand it. The paper
discovers that the man does find in the Sunna a kind of flexibility that makes
it open for new understanding and application within new context. His
conception of the Sunna can be found in his ideas concerning the nature,
position, validity and the interpretation of religious text. Given that the
Sunna comes only second after the Qur’an, the former must therefore be
interpreted in the light of the latter. The paper tries to show that what is
interesting about studying Abu Zayd is his view to transform the Islamic
religious texts from merely mythological narratives into a logical and living
tradition.
Keywords: flexibility of
Sunna, mythology, second text,
